Trailing arm or LCA ball joint. Nothing recreates the stresses of driving when the wheel is removed. But if it is whine from the front may be a wheel bearing. You are describing 2 very different issues - a knock & a whine.

Worn out trailign arm causes the knock and the squeak is caused by LCA gone bad. At least what I had and by replacing those, the noices disappeared. Same like with you, the wheel off there was no any signs of problems to be found...
